Psalms 144
144
Psalm 144
Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity.
A Psalm of David.
1Blessed be the Lord, my Rock and my great strength,
Who trains my hands for war
And my fingers for battle;
2My [steadfast] lovingkindness and my fortress,
My high tower and my rescuer,
My shield and He in whom I take refuge,
Who subdues my people under me.
3Lord, what is man that You take notice of him?
Or the son of man that You think of him? [Job 7:17; Ps 8:4; Heb 2:6]
4Man is like a mere breath;
His days are like a shadow that passes away.
5¶Bow Your heavens, O Lord, and come down;
Touch the mountains, and they will smoke.
6Flash lightning and scatter my enemies;
Send out Your arrows and confuse and embarrass and frustrate them.
7Stretch out Your hand from above;
Set me free and rescue me from great waters,
Out of the hands of [hostile] foreigners [who surround us]
8Whose mouths speak deceit [without restraint],
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9¶I will sing a new song to You, O God;
Upon a harp of ten strings I will sing praises to You,
10Who gives salvation to kings,
Who sets David His servant free from the evil sword.
11Set me free and rescue me from the hand of [hostile] foreigners,
Whose mouth speaks deceit [without restraint],
And whose right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
12¶Let our sons in their youth be like plants full grown,
And our daughters like corner pillars fashioned for a palace;
13Let our barns be full, supplying every kind of produce,
And our flocks bring forth thousands and ten thousands in our fields;
14Let our cattle bear
Without mishap and without loss,
And let there be no outcry in our streets!
15How blessed and favored are the people in such circumstance;
How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored] are the people whose God is the Lord!

Psalm 144
144
A Prayer for Rescue and Prosperity
A Psalm of David.
1Blessed be the Lord my strength,
which teacheth my hands to war,
and my fingers to fight:
2my goodness, and my fortress;
my high tower, and my deliverer;
my shield, and he in whom I trust;
who subdueth my people under me.

Job 7.17,18; Ps 8.4. Lord, what is man, that thou takest knowledge of him!
or the son of man, that thou makest account of him!
4Man is like to vanity:#144.4 vanity, Hebrew breath.
his days are as a shadow that passeth away.
5Bow thy heavens, O Lord, and come down:
touch the mountains, and they shall smoke.
6Cast forth lightning, and scatter them:
shoot out thine arrows, and destroy them.
7Send thine hand from above;
rid me, and deliver me out of great waters,
from the hand of strange children;
8whose mouth speaketh vanity,
and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood.
9I will sing a new song unto thee, O God:
upon a psaltery and an instrument of ten strings
will I sing praises unto thee.
10 It is he that giveth salvation unto kings:
who delivereth David his servant from the hurtful sword.
11Rid me, and deliver me from the hand of strange children,
whose mouth speaketh vanity,
and their right hand is a right hand of falsehood:
12that our sons may be as plants grown up in their youth;
that our daughters may be as corner stones,
polished after the similitude of a palace:
13 that our garners may be full,
affording all manner of store;
that our sheep may bring forth thousands
and ten thousands in our streets:
14 that our oxen may be strong to labor;
that there be no breaking in, nor going out;
that there be no complaining in our streets.
15Happy is that people, that is in such a case:
yea, happy is that people, whose God is the Lord.
